Through both longer essays and shorter case studies, this book
examines the relationship of European women from various countries
and backgrounds to collecting, in order to explore the social
practices and material and visual cultures of collecting in
eighteenth-century Europe. It recovers their lives and examines
their interests, their methodologies, and their collections and
objects-some of which have rarely been studied before. The book
also considers women's role as producers, that is, creators of
objects that were collected. Detailed examination of the
artefacts-both visually, and in relation to their historical
contexts-exposes new ways of thinking about collecting in relation
to the arts and sciences in eighteenth-century Europe. The book is
interdisciplinary in its makeup and brings together scholars from a
wide range of fields. It will be of interest to those working in
art history, material and visual culture, history of collecting,
history of science, literary studies, women's studies, gender
studies, and art conservation.
